Auto Credit Based on stevemc01's USS New York (The 1k Special)
So I decided to try to make a mobile-friendly catapult. After not being able to find one anywhere on SimplePlanes, I said “SCREW IT” and made my own (possibly the first mobile friendly catapult, though single-use). I added this little jet plane, but I’m about 88% sure this can work with other scout planes… Instructions in the comments.

AG 5 to launch the aircraft and control it. You must move the turret to tilt the aircraft out of the way or else it will just detonate your ship.
@SpartanDelta1 I tried using mechanics everyone else did, and then I realized the concept of a single-use catapult was far easier than I first anticipated.
.
By the time I did figure that out, my account was 3 or 3.4 years old.
I like the idea, I'm thinking that a small plane launched from a larger plane could be a good challenge
@Cyberpilot16 Thanks. I'm using this in a design for a battlecarrier (yes again).
Impressive. Very very impressive my friend
